From a very early age, I knew that my love for birth and babies was a unique passion many children my age did not share. I fondly remember my 10-year-old self as my friends raced home to play hide & seek in the court I rushed to my neighbour’s house to care for her new baby so she could shower or eat in peace. I somehow intuitively knew that those moments were just as special to her as they were to me.
Years later when I started my own family I recognized firsthand the importance of creating a village of support that would cheer me on during my triumphs and hold me up during my tribulations. In 2012 I took a leap of faith with the support of my husband and 3 children and completed my labour and postpartum doula training. I wanted to be able to share my knowledge, passion and services to our birthing community and new families within the region. For 10 years I have been practicing and perfecting my trade under Oh Baby Fitness & Doula Support until I decided to create a dedicated doula website which has led me (and you) here to Andrea Ryan Doula Services.
I would love the opportunity to continue the conversation about my services, skills and support. Let’s chat!
